Zombies vs The Living Dead by Frank Tayell
3.5
3.5 living dead stars
In time of an apocalypse what happens to those who can't fend for themselves?
This was a nice short story. It was nice to have a story where all the protagonists are over 60.
George has lost his wife, his job, his house and now lives in a retirement home. His only friend is a disabled Irish woman. Then the zombie apocalypse strikes and George must act as everybody seems to have forgotten about the residents of the retirement home.
In the tradition of zombies stories being used for social commentary, the author, in 70 short pages, skillfully touches many subjects. It adheres to all the codes of the genre but still brings something new. I'll give the full length books a try (because I do love zombies stories).
